Summary

The siege of the Brazen City has been lifted and the Paladin Bergen remains free. Following their victory, Ahren and his companions continue on their travels, this time to the Southern Jungles in search of information regarding the whereabouts of the female Paladin, Sunju. 

The journey is long and dangerous. Not only must they traverse the Nameless Desert and the untamed primeval forest, but hired assassins are hot on their heels along the Spear Path. And to top it all, the consequences of Jelninolan's extended absence from Evergreen could be fatal to her....

Still Captivated

Sometimes it gets to a point where series begin to lose there "charm" after a while. However, this is definitely not the case here. I am absolutely loving the story and the consistent character growth. Onto book 5.

Good but could be better

I enjoyed the story but there were too many stereotypes in it .
Was it really necessary for the people of the jungle to be dark skinned and naked or for the man character to be so concerned about it.

Better world building need
Still liked the story though

Another brilliant book in the series

Torsten Weitzes a fantastic fantasy writer and I was not let down with the 4th book in his 13th Paladin series. His characters continue to evolve in an ever more hostile world and their encounters are beautifully described. I highly recommend this book.

Good yarn

But the young paladin can be irritating at times with his constant stupid questions.
Also the author seems to be lecturing his readers at times as to how to conduct their lives making himself the arbitrator of right and wrong.
Well written and engaging others than that,

Disappointing

I found the 1st book an enjoyable experience and immediately bought the next 2.
I preordered this and couldn’t wait for its release.
Disappointing!
A lot of padding for a quick conclusion.
I don’t think I can stomach the next 8 books while Ahren tracks down each paladin per book and will unfortunately wait until these are (with luck) out together as a series of box sets.
A promising start and poor ending.
Gildart Jackson provides a strange narrative which grated on the first book, which I was willing to overlook, but coupled together with a disappointing story line, I needn’t say more.
